My daughter (age 9) is looking at your website with me, and when I told her you were getting three cows, she immediately wanted to know if you were getting a horse, too. She loves horses and she is going to take riding lessons. She loves all your cats and dog pictures, too. We must go upstairs to read Anne of Green Gables right now! :) Lanier,

I am actually commenting on an unrelated topic. I've enjoyed reading through your archives and other topical entries; in particular, your music entries. I am a great Gillian Welch fan and am having an "Olde Tyme" country social/barn dance for my wedding reception ( a live blue grass band, square dancing, etc). However, I am undecided on the music for my processional and recessional music at my ceremony, and since I have heard some beautiful music sung (and played?) by you in the music section, I was wondering if you may be able to suggest some pieces that may be appropriate. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Lanier. Sincerely, Vanessa Dear Lanier,

I love seeing the sweet cat enjoying his spot among the blooms! What I enjoy even more is the encouraging conversation between mother and daughter. It's certainly a 21st century invention, isn't it? You have something very unique in your relationship! :) Thank you for this beautiful post about your garden, Lanier. I love seeing the sweet cat enjoying his spot among the blooms!

It's funny that this latest post is all about your garden flowers. Just today, as I was picking weeds and sweeping away the endless pods of pollen, I came across my one and only peony plant - so very old and definitely in desperate need of a new home. (It has only bloomed once in the three years we have lived here but I am sure at one time it lived in a pristine world of young holly bushes and smaller trees.) Now, it is but a hidden treasure among tangled ivy and overgrown forsythia bushes. When I saw it today, I thought about you and how much it would thrive somewhere in your beautiful garden - surrounded by so many other touches of your hand. I will definitely see if you have a spot to add this pink lady to your garden collection. I can just picture your garden this year ~ overflowing with every imaginable color!
